1.赛题会于美国东部时间2011年2月10日（星期四）晚上8点公布：所有的参赛队员可以通过访问/undergraduate/contests/mcm.得到赛题。

无须任何密码，仅通过网页连接就可以得到赛题。

2、如果因为某些原因您无法直接访问到我们的主站，您也可以访问我们的镜像网站
/mcm
或者点击这里。

竞赛的网站和镜像网站位于美国不同地方的两个不同的网络中，所以如果两个网页都不能访问，说明您的本地internet链接有问题，请与您的Internet服务提供商联系。

B. Choose a problem:
Each team must choose one problem according to the following rules:
• MCM teams must choose either Problem A or Problem B; an MCM team may submit a solution to only one of the problems. (MCM teams should NOT choose Problem C.)
• ICM teams must choose Problem C. There is no choice for ICM teams. (ICM teams should NOT choose Problem A or Problem B.)
选题：
每个队必须按照下面的规定选择一到题目
MCM的参赛队必须选择赛题 A 或B；MCM的参赛队只要提交两个问题之一的解决方案就可以。

MCM参赛队不得选择赛题C。

ICM的参赛队必须选择赛题C。

ICM参赛队除了赛题C别无选择，不能选择赛题A或者B。

C. Teams prepare solutions: （参赛队准备解决方案）
1. Teams may use any inanimate source of data or materials: computers, software, references, web sites, books, etc. ALL SOURCES USED MUST BE CREDITED. Failure to credit a source will result in a team being disqualified from the competition.
（参赛队可以利用任何非生命提供的数据和资料——包括计算机，软件，参考书目，网站，书籍等，但是所有引用的资料必须注明出处，如有参赛队未注明引用的内容的出处，将被取消参赛资格。

）

This includes email, telephone contact, and personal conversation, communication via web chat or other question-answer systems, or any other form of communication.（参赛队成员不允许向指导教师或者除了本团队成员以外的其他人寻求帮助或讨论问题。

与除本团队成员以外的人的任何形式的接触都是严格禁止的。

这包括通过E-mail联系、电话联系、私人交谈、通过网络聊天联络或是其他的任何问答系统，其他任何的交流方式。

大赛不存在通过或是不通过的分数分界点，也不会有一个数字形式的分数。

MCM /ICM的评判主要是依据参赛队的解决方法和步骤。

）
4. Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.
To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work. Thus, a summary should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions. Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.
（摘要格式：摘要是 MCM 参赛论文的一个非常重要的部分。

在评卷过程中，摘要占据了相当大的比重，以至于有的时候获奖论文之所以能在众多论文中脱颖而出是因为其高质量的摘要。

好的摘要可以使读者通过摘要就能判断自己是否要通读论文的正文部分。

如此一来，摘要就必须清楚的描述解决问题的方法，显著的表达论文中最重要的结论。

摘要应该能够激发出读者阅读论文详细内容的兴趣。

那些简单重复比赛题目和复制粘贴引言中的样板文件的摘要一般将被认为是没有竞争力的。

）
Each Summary Sheet should include: （每个概要要包括）
Restatement and clarification of the problem: State in your own words what you are going to
do. (再次重述问题—用你自己的话重述你将要解决的问题。

)
Explain assumptions and rationale/justification: Emphasize the assumptions that bear on the problem. Clearly list all variables used in your model. (对于基本原理以及证明的假设—着重陈述在解决问题中提出的假设，清晰的列出所有在模型中应用到的变量。

)
Include your model design and justification for type model used or developed. (对于已经用过的或者应用到的模型的构建与证明。

)
Describe model testing and sensitivity analysis, including error analysis, etc.(模型的测试与灵敏度分析，包括误差分析等。

)
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your model or approach. (关于模型或求解方法的优缺点讨论)
5. The judges will evaluate the quality of your writing in the Solution Paper:
· Conciseness and organization are extremely important.
· Key statements should present major ideas and results.
· Present a clarification or restatement of the problem, as appropriate.
· Present a clear exposition of all variables, assumptions, and hypotheses.
· Present an analysis of the problem, including the motivation or justification for the model that is used.
· Include a design of the model.
· Discuss how the model could be tested, including error analysis and stability (conditioning, sensitivity, etc.).
· Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses in your model or approach.
评委评价论文的写作以下几个方面：
简明扼要、有组织是极为重要的。

主要的结论必须给出大体的构想及结果。

需适当的简化或重申问题。

需包括如何通过调整使得模型付诸于实际应用这个问题的分析。

需包括模型的设计方案。

讨论如何进行模型测试，包括误差分析与稳定性（适用条件，灵敏度等）。

不是论文形式的材料如计算机文件或盘片等将不被接受。

)
8. The Solution Paper must display the team control number and the page number at the top of every page; for example, use the following page header on each page:
Team # 321 Page 6 of 13
(解决方案的每一页的顶部都需要有参赛队的控制编号以及页码。

我们建议在每页上使用页眉，例如：Team #321 Page6 of 13)
9. The names of the students, advisor, or institution should NOT appear on any page of the print solution or electronic solution. The solution should not contain any identifying information other than the team control number.(参赛队的成员名单、指导教师名单以及学校名称均不能出现在解决方案的任何一页上。

整个赛题解决方案不能包含有除了参赛队控
制编号以外的任何身份识别信息。

)
10. Failure to adhere to any preparation rule is grounds for team disqualification.(任何不遵守以上规则的参赛队将被取消参赛资格。
